Sounds like these guys were channeling Xerox PARC - who had EVERYTHING, computer-wise; the mouse, Windows, etc. Xerox could be Microsoft and Apple combined today. But they were run by a bunch of “copier heads” who didn’t see the potential.

It’s not the technology, it’s the marketing...you can have the best products, but if your marketing department isn’t up to snuff, you will lose.

At least I know that there are other old people reading FR.

I would guess that in many industries, especially the dynamic ones like computers/electronics, many game changers have died in the lab because management didn’t pull the trigger and get it out. And also, there are many interesting ideas which shouldn’t be brought out. (Next?)

When it’s good enough, but not perfect, you’ve got pot odds.
